The Winter Olympics bring with them visualizations of skiing, ice skating, snowboarding, and, of course, medals 🥇, medals 🥈, and more medals 🥉.

Find these (and much more!) in this week's Data Vis Dispatch. 👉 www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...
A map created through dimensionality reduction that clusters different groups on Maltbook, a social media community where only AI agents can write. Published in SBS News. A tile map of the world's countries with a heat map overlay showing how many medals each country won in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Published by Bloomberg. A pictorial column chart that illustrates the development of alpine ski equipment. The y-axis marks the height of the skis. Each column represents a pair of skis from a different time period, starting with 6,000 BCE and then jumping to 1860 and ending with 1990. From 1860 to 1990, skis got smaller, shrinking from over 350 cm to slightly over 150 cm. Published in Der Spiegel. A connected scatterplot showing the relationship between global GDP per capita and global CO2 emissions. Time progresses along the line, beginning with low GDP and emissions in 1960. Since 2024, the line has risen steadily. Published in The Guardian.

The new Data Vis Dispatch is out! This week, visualizations answer questions about Bollywood film genres, Trump's ambitions in Greenland, and the radiation of bananas.

Find the answers here: www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...
Icon array of Bollywood film covers, ordered by year from 1990 to 2024. The movie covers are color-coded by genre. The romance genre was quite popular, along with the action genre, at the beginning. Since 2015, the romance genre has become less prevalent, while the action genre has become more so. The fantasy genre is also prominent. Published by Kontinentalist. Illustration of a pile of ten million rotten bananas in front of the 46-meter-high Statue of Liberty. The bananas reach up to her chin. The illustration shows that the bananas will produce a lot of methane. This image is part of an interactive article published on Bluesky by Marco Hernández. Photo of many different feathers neatly arranged according to similarity on a dark gray background. This is an excerpt from a bird feather database. The link to it was posted by Krista Koeller on Bluesky. A map of the northern polar region, with a special focus on Greenland. It shows popular trading routes passing through the Baltic Sea and Greenland, as well as military occurrences in the region. Published by El Mundo.

The Data Vis Dispatch is back in its regular format! 💫 This week is short, with a focus on Venezuela. You'll also find retrospectives on 2025, as well as people's resolutions for 2026.
A map of the world with a flowchart overlay showing the destinations of Venezuelan oil. Each flow starts in Venezuela and leads to a destination country. The thicker the line and the larger the dot in a country, the more oil that country receives. Most oil arrives in the US (35%) and Asia (32%). Published by RTVE. A icon array of cars from the top. This is the initial view of an interactive article published by The New York Times. Most of the cars appear in grey, while some are colored green. The green ones represent the 11 percent of cars that did not enter Manhattan's central business district due to congestion pricing implemented in 2025. Five pictorial cups containing different vegetables, such as carrots or tomatoes. Below is an interactive slider showing the recommended daily serving size. Users should enter their desired serving amount. The interactive article provides feedback on whether this is enough and suggests an appropriate amount. Published by the Washington Post. This is a map of a section of Venezuela with neighboring bodies of water and countries. U.S. military deployments are marked on the map with ship and plane icons. Pictures of the different types of naval and air forces, along with the number of stationed forces and the name, are shown below the map. Published by El País.
